Paragon Casino RV Park - photo from Sue
Report from Don L., April 26, 2008
Went to Paragon Casino Resort twice, both times staying in
the Hotel, but looked over the RV park closely and the facilities in the RV
park. It is located in the little town of Marksville, LA. not far from
Alexandria, LA and Lafayette, LA. RV park is nice. an Indian res. casino.
nice. would recommend it. Has about the same as the Hollywood, only a
wee bit better in certain categories. I like the people that run the
poker room better at the Paragon. People overall seem friendlier.
They have a movie theatre with several current movies going all the time.
nice. I enjoyed it. They have an alligator man with live alligators,
mostly young ones, turtles, in some beautiful pools under the main
lobby/casino area. quite large and pleasant to see. have a show once a week
with alligator man. Spa is very nice. I would rate it 8.25 overall.

This Big Rig Friendly RV Park remains in pristine
condition and one the best appointed parks we have encountered. Full hookups
at Passport America Rates-- 'Watta Bargain"! Security roams constantly
and conveniently stops whenever someone on foot is spotted. The Casino staff
phones for shuttles for you when you are ready to return to your rig.
Sites big, level and clean on concrete with concrete
tables. Nice woods bordering the property gives one a feeling of privacy.
Though a bit off the beaten track, it is truly one of the most pleasant
places to stop, rest and play awhile in that part of the country. While
there, they had a fantastic crawfish feast with live entertainment in the
lower parking garage for $5, including your beer.
The only drawback at the time of the our visit was the
unworkable wifi. Apparently, it is one of the pay wifi setups that the park
management disavows any knowledge of and the provider tekkies can't figure
out what's wrong. We got our fee refunded "on principal" as we refuse to
encourage parks to charge for "services" that don't provide service. They
are getting ready for a major expansion and we look forward to a return
visit for the anticipated recreation and hope that they have changed wifi
providers

Just want to say The Paragon Casinos R.V. park
in Marksville LA. is really wonderful and just want to add that security
there is great. We have never seen so many security trucks patrolling any
park we have stayed at. It really makes you feel safe, we had no
problems and the park is beautiful and very quiet at night. We will be
back here again. The prices are wonderful too.

We stayed at the
Paragon RV Park and will rate it as one of the nicest RV parks that we have
stayed at. Almost every site is a pull through with concrete drives and
pads. There is a concrete picnic table and garbage can at each site. Price
is $12.95 Sun-Thur., $15.95 Fri-Sat., and $19.95 Holiday & Concert days.
Passport Amer. discount is good for 5 days once per month. They also honor
Good Sam's.
They have cabins
and chalets available at $49.95-$79.95 per night. There is a very large club
house, laundry, and pool. There is a playground. Shuttle service to the
casino is available 24 hrs. WiFi is available in the park for $3.00/day,
$15.00/wk., $25.00/mo. The signal is a little weak. Our Verizon wireless
card works well here.
The casino is
quite large with a good variety of machines in all denominations. They have
several video poker machines that take up to 20 coin, but you are not
penalized if you only play 5. There is 9/6 Jacks or Better (.05cents
included), & 10/8 Bonus Poker. Drinks are offered and there are coffee
stations located around the casino.

We have stopped at the casino in Marksville, LA.
Quite a number of times, usually at least two trips each year. Very nice RV
park and have done somewhat well in the casino. Rates $13 per night, under
$7 if you are a member of Passport America. They are pretty free with the
drinks also.

Notes
Web site shows RV park has 166 pull-throughs,
Cable TV hookups, 12-, 30- and 50-amp hookups, Swimming pool, Laundry/shower
facilities, more
Watch those paytables
closely. This casino has a bonus machine set at 10/8, but two pair
only returns the bet (same as one pair of J or better) so it's a 92.8%
game. I'm not sure about the other games. Just be wary.
